Show&Tell

Christopher Carleton talked about his work and workflow in and around computational archaeology. Christopher has published multiple highly relevant papers in this domain. Just to name a few:

Carleton, W. C. (2020). Evaluating Bayesian Radiocarbon‐dated Event Count (REC) models for the study of long‐term human and environmental processes. Journal of Quaternary Science https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3256 Carleton W. C., Groucutt HS. (2020). Sum things are not what they seem: Problems with point-wise interpretations and quantitative analyses of proxies based on aggregated radiocarbon dates.

An evolutionary agent-based model contradicts Dunnell’s version of the waste hypothesis for cultural elaboration. https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/2h36u https://github.com/wccarleton/abm_waste

Christopher shared some insights into the more intricate details of how he uses scripting languages and computational tools for reproducible analysis.
